Listening and language are important means for human beings to communicate with each other and know the world. However, the haze of ear disease and hearing impairment is harassing human beings. According to the World Health Organization, there are nearly 600 million people with mild hearing loss and 250 million people with moderate hearing loss.

There are 20.57 million people with hearing impairment in China, ranking first among all kinds of disabilities, accounting for 16.79‰ of the national population, of which 800,000 are deaf children under the age of seven, and more than 30,000 new deaf children are born every year. There are 9.49 million presbycusis, and the number of presbycusis is increasing with the increase of life expectancy and aging of the population. Hearing impairment seriously affects the social communication and personal life quality of these people.

This large group of disabled people with special difficulties has attracted great attention from the whole society, especially the health department.

Some cities in China have set up steering groups to prevent deafness, carried out epidemiological investigations on deafness, and actively expanded cooperation fields with the World Health Organization and other international organizations, and extensively carried out academic exchanges.

The Standard for Clinical Use of Commonly Used Otototoxic Drugs issued by the Ministry of Health will play an important role in strengthening the management of the use of deaf drugs and reducing the occurrence of hearing and language disabilities. 1998 1 month;
